Journalism’s Evensen on Donald Trump: ‘Creature of the Media’

Journalism historian talks about presumptive GOP nominee

Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump's skillful use of the media has given his campaign a large platform, even though he complains the media treats him unfairly, reports CBS 2 Iowa. "Trump has been crying about negative media coverage from the outset of his campaign," says the College of Communication Journalism program's political media expert Bruce Evensen. "He fully understands that he is a creature of the media."
